28. Atmani caivam; vicitrasca hi
And thus (also) in the Self; for there are diversified powers.
The individual self possesses attributes, that are opposed to those subsisting in the non-sentient beings. This is due to the special powers found in him. The non-sentient beings, such as fire and water, etc. possess the mutually opposing attributes, have the powers specially attached to them and are seen distinct from each other.
29. Svapaksadosacca
And on account of the defects of his own views
also.
The defects, such as the whole should transform itself into the effect, do exist only in the case of the Pradhana, that is without parts and is of the same class as non-sentient beings. Hence the Brahman is the cause of the creation, etc. of the world.
